Lt. Surge's name is a play on "Surge" and the accent pronunciation of "Sarge" , which is evident in ' electrical surge' and in his position as the Kanto Gym Leader specializing in Electric-type.
Trivia
- Lt. Surge's recent redesign gives him a more commando look as opposed to a traditional soldier, and bears a great comparison of physical resemblance to Street Fighter (Franchise)'s Guile.
- Taking in note Lt. Surge's member stance in the United States Army, he is one of two Pokemon Gym Leaders consistent with having prior residence outside the Pokémon canon universe; the other being Sinnoh Gym Leader Fantina.
- In the anime and in Pokémon Yellow, Lt. Surge's Raichu moveset includes the move Mega Kick, which Raichu is incapable of learning.
